KFC Bucket Prices NZ: Latest on Jumbo, XL Buckets & Deals

If you’re after a feed for the whole whānau, a KFC bucket is hard to beat—but the price tag might catch you off guard. Across New Zealand, KFC bucket prices shift noticeably depending on which bucket size you pick and where you order from. The Jumbo Bucket lists at NZ$94.99 on Uber Eats, though prices vary by location and platform.

Jumbo Bucket: $94.99 · XL Bucket: $79.99–$84.99 · 10pc Boneless: $34.99 · Wicked Wings 12pk: $34.99

“Uber Eats explicitly notes that platform prices may not match in-store pricing. If you’re budgeting for a gathering, always check the restaurant’s direct menu before committing to delivery fees.”

What is the cost of a KFC bucket?

KFC New Zealand buckets range from the smaller Boneless options up to the massive Jumbo, with prices shifting noticeably depending on where you look. The official KFC menu at kfc.co.nz lists standard pricing, but delivery platforms like Uber Eats often carry slightly different figures—and those platforms warn that their menu prices may differ from what you’d pay walking into a store.

General Bucket Prices

Two of the most consistently listed large buckets show a meaningful price gap across platforms. The Jumbo Bucket runs NZ$94.99 on Uber Eats at locations like Ponsonby Auckland, Hamilton The Base, and Invercargill South, while the XL Bucket sits at NZ$79.99–$84.99 depending on the specific store. On aggregator sites like fastfoodsmenu.com, lower prices have been recorded—Jumbo at NZ$75.99, XL at NZ$66.99—but those figures are less current and carry lower confidence as a result.

The Family Feast, a mid-tier option, costs NZ$59.99 on Uber Eats Ponsonby and includes 10 pieces of Secret Recipe Chicken, a large Potato & Gravy, 2 large Chips, and a 1.5L Drink. The Dinner for 2 comes in at NZ$50.99 with 6 pieces of chicken and all the regular-sized sides.

Bucket Size Variations

The Jumbo Bucket is the top of the range in New Zealand, containing 20 pieces of Secret Recipe Chicken, 2 large Potato & Gravy, 4 large Chips, and a 1.5L Drink. The XL Bucket one step down holds 16 pieces of chicken, a large Potato & Gravy, 3 large Chips, and a 1.5L Drink. Both are designed for groups or very hungry appetites, with the per-piece cost improving as you scale up.

What is the $9.99 deal at KFC NZ?

Searches for a “$9.99 deal at KFC NZ” show up consistently in New Zealanders’ queries, but pinning down what that figure actually refers to has proved tricky. The content plan’s top questions list this deal as one worth investigating, yet current Uber Eats listings and aggregator menus from April 2026 don’t surface a standard NZ$9.99 bucket or meal.

Deal Contents

What New Zealand’s KFC locations do consistently run are promotional deals tied to specific days: 2pc Tuesdays at NZ$4.49 (online pickup, per fastfoodsmenu.com), Wicked Wednesdays at NZ$2.00 (app-only), and Zinger Mondays at NZ$6.00 (app-only). These are smaller individual items rather than full buckets, but they’re substantial savings if you’re grabbing a quick lunch on those days.

The nearest bucket deal to NZ$9.99 on Uber Eats is the Hot & Crispy Boneless Bucket 10pc at NZ$34.99—significantly higher. Some historical aggregator listings show Feast for Two at NZ$24.99 and Summer Bucket Regular at NZ$46.99, but none sit at the NZ$9.99 mark.

Availability

The day-based deals (2pc Tuesdays, Wicked Wednesdays, Zinger Mondays) appear to be app-only or online-pickup promotions rather than in-store offers. Uber Eats may not reflect these deals unless you’re ordering through the KFC app directly. The app-only nature means they’re easy to skip if you’re browsing delivery platforms without logging into the KFC app first.

“New Zealanders hunting for a NZ$9.99 deal are likely thinking of past promotions or regional variants no longer active. The current app-exclusive deals (2pc Tuesdays at $4.49, Wicked Wednesdays at $2.00) offer even better per-item value for solo or small orders, but they’re not bucket-sized.”

What do you get in a 14 piece KFC bargain bucket?

The “14 piece KFC bargain bucket” is a popular search, though current Uber Eats listings for New Zealand locations don’t show a standard 14-piece bucket in the main menu. The closest equivalents are the Boneless Bucket line and the mid-tier Feast bundles.

14pc Bargain Bucket Items

Research turned up no verified 14pc bucket on Uber Eats or KFC’s official menu as of April 2026. What does appear consistently is the Hot & Crispy Boneless Bucket in a 10-piece size at NZ$34.99, which skips the bone-in chicken pieces in favour of boneless strips—a different product category altogether.

The Wicked Feast at NZ$69.99 includes 8 pieces of Secret Recipe Chicken plus 6 Wicked Wings, landing closer to 14 pieces when you count both formats. But it carries a premium price and a different mix.

Pricing

Without a confirmed 14-piece bargain bucket on current menus, the closest bucket deal is the XL Bucket at NZ$79.99–$84.99 on Uber Eats with 16 bone-in pieces. For someone specifically after a mid-range bargain, the Boneless Bucket 10pc at NZ$34.99 or the Wicked Wings bundles (8pk $24.99, 12pk $34.99, 20pk $54.99) offer more flexibility in building a custom feed without committing to a full feast.

What this means: the “14 piece bargain bucket” may have been a regional or promotional variant that’s since rotated off menus. If you’re dead-set on that specific option, contacting your local KFC directly via the KFC New Zealand website is the safest way to confirm current availability.

What’s in a 10 piece bargain bucket at KFC?

The 10-piece bucket search intent splits into two distinct products: the traditional bone-in 10-piece bucket (if available) and the Hot & Crispy Boneless Bucket 10pc that does appear on current Uber Eats menus.

10pc Boneless Bargain Bucket

The Hot & Crispy Boneless Bucket 10pc is listed on Uber Eats Ponsonby Auckland at NZ$34.99. This product skips the traditional fried chicken in favour of boneless strips that are hot and crispy—popular with families who prefer easier eating or want to avoid bones. The Boneless line doesn’t appear on all aggregator sites, making it harder to track across platforms.

The Wicked Wings 12pk at NZ$34.99 sits at the same price point if you’d rather go all-in on wing-style pieces. At NZ$54.99, the 20pk Wicked Wings offers a better per-piece rate for larger groups.

NZ Pricing

For 10-piece traditional bone-in buckets, current verification is limited. Fastfoodsmenu.com has historically listed Summer Bucket Regular at NZ$46.99, but that’s a named seasonal bundle rather than a standard 10pc. The official KFC NZ menu at kfc.co.nz remains the most reliable source for confirming which 10-piece options are permanently on offer versus which are promotional.

The trade-off: boneless buckets cost more per piece than bone-in equivalents, but they offer practical advantages for eating with children or in situations where bones are inconvenient. The Hot & Crispy Boneless Bucket 10pc at NZ$34.99 on Uber Eats is your most verifiable 10-piece option right now.

Does KFC have a 25 piece bucket?

The search intent for a “25 piece bucket” reflects a desire for the ultimate crowd-feeding option, but the verified data doesn’t confirm any standard 25-piece KFC bucket in New Zealand as of April 2026.

Large Buckets like Jumbo or 20pc

The largest confirmed bucket is the Jumbo Bucket with 20 pieces of chicken, 2 large Potato & Gravy, 4 large Chips, and a 1.5L Drink. At NZ$94.99 on Uber Eats across multiple locations (Ponsonby Auckland, Hamilton The Base, Invercargill South), it offers the most chicken in a single KFC NZ bucket. One tier down, the XL Bucket holds 16 pieces and costs NZ$79.99–$84.99 depending on location.

The 20-piece Wicked Wings bundle at NZ$54.99 technically reaches 20 pieces, but those are wing portions rather than standard chicken pieces, so the comparison isn’t quite apples-to-apples.

25 Piece Options

No KFC NZ source (official menu, Uber Eats, or verified aggregator) currently lists a 25-piece bucket. The closest is the Jumbo at 20 pieces. For groups requiring more than 20 servings, a practical workaround is ordering two XL Buckets (16 pieces each, total 32 pieces) or pairing a Jumbo with a Wicked Wings 20pk for a combined 40 pieces—enough for a sizeable party.

The pattern: KFC NZ buckets top out at 20 pieces for traditional chicken. If you need more, you’ll need to combine products or contact a location directly about catering options.

Six buckets, one clear pattern: the per-piece cost drops as the bucket gets larger. The Dinner for 2 works out to roughly NZ$8.50 per piece, while the Jumbo Bucket lands closer to NZ$4.75 per piece. For a group, the Jumbo delivers the best value by a significant margin.

Ten items, one pattern: the daily deals (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Mondays) deliver the best per-item value if you’re ordering solo through the app, while the Wicked Wings packs scale up efficiently for group settings.
